Sawa :-)

Day 3 -->


To recharged my batteries, I went to the cafe called "Shin Shin Doh" for breakfast:)


Then, I headed to Shorin-ji temple. There I tried zazen, Zen meditation, and yoga for the first time in my life.
I thought I'd have to keep my eyes closed during meditation. The truth the monk told me was, however, I had to keep my eyes half open and lower the gaze at a certain point, about one meter in front. It was a great experience :)

*like this



After that, I had lunch and went to Fushimi-inari Shrine!! This place is one of the most-visited torist spots in Japan.













Then, I went to Kiyomizu Temple.
The temple was located on the hill. I didn't know that!!! I was so exhausted that I wanted to scream. Eventually I dicided to take a break on the way.


Finally I got to see the temple!!!!!







*Ninen-zaka and Sannen-zaka
There were so many souvenir shops.










After enjoying Kiyomizu Temple, I got on the bus to Kyoto station.
